Especially summer weeks which are 150 TDI. Great low cost trader. We love our week 26 unit. We previously owned week 23; don't really see a difference in trading power between the 2. I've always said it's the little timeshare that could...it definitely punches above its weight for trading.

I own a 150 TDI week at CWQ (the Colonies) as well. Agree with you completely on it being a great trader. I only have one complain about its trading power .... and I suspect it is a general complaint on II and lock-offs versus CWQ specifically. It amazes me how little additional trading power you get trading it as a 4BR verses a one of the two 2BR sides. I can hardly see any difference between what it pulls as a 2BR versus a 4BR. Unless it is a weird, quirky trade an owner wishes to make .... there is little reason not to lock it off and make 2 deposits.

How many points would it have converted to and how much was the cost? I may be mistaken, but once you convert to RCI points, it can no longer be enrolled in interval as well?
I don't know how many points or the cost, but for some reason <$5K comes to mind. IIRC, the opportunity for points was with II, not RCI (but I could be wrong since I didn't ask questions).
Ref conversion to RCI points, that's what I understand. When we purchased SVR, the previous owners had converted to RCI points. We could not make any changes until the previous owners canceled the RCI points contract/membership.

I've noticed the same ref 4BR compared to the 2BR.
